A week off

With the new house needing a few major bits of work, it has had to be a cheap year and this meant no overseas holidays. Instead we visited Cornwall and the Scilly Islands. In the right weather this is as good a holiday spot as anywhere.

You have stunning islands


The most famous for plant lovers being Tresco with Tresco Abbey gardens


The great thing about Cornwall is everywhere you look there are stunning beaches


Even the smallest cottages have the odd plant of interest


If you want a bit of culture there is no need to leave the garden, maybe a quick museum trip


Or a bit of shakespear

Needless to say, I was very happy surrounded by all the plants.


It will take me a few days to sort all the photos then I'll do more detailed posts on each of the gardens. One surprise was that I came home without a single plant.  Well there has to be a first for everything.
